Every year, over 90,000 foreign workers enter Canada to work temporarily in jobs that help Canadian employers address skill shortages, or as live-in caregivers.
A work permit is needed for most temporary jobs in Canada, though for some positions and business people it is not necessary. More information on work permits for temporary jobs can be found in this section of the web
If you want to work in Canada, you must understand the following important information:-
First of all you should find an employer who can offer you an unconditional offer of employment.
Your employer helps determine if you are eligible. Your employer may need to get a labour market opinion from Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC). A labour market opinion confirms that the employer can fill the job with a foreign worker.
You will find more information about which jobs do not require a labour market opinion under each section on the Eligibility to apply page.(CIC Wbsite)
You can also find out more about HRSDC labour market opinions in the Frequently asked questions in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page. .(CIC Wbsite)
To work in Canada, you must meet the general requirements for entering the country and for staying here, in addition to those for getting a work permit. This means you may need a temporary resident visa. For information on visas, go to the Visit section on the left-hand side of this page. .(CIC Wbsite)
A work permit is not an immigration document. It does not allow you to live in Canada permanently.
To live here permanently, you must qualify under an immigration category, such as skilled worker. Live-in caregivers can stay in Canada permanently if they meet certain requirements. (CIC Wbsite)
For more information, go to Immigrate in the Come to Canada section on the left-hand side of this page, or go to Live-In Caregiver Program in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page. .
